MLB Postseason LOGO

The 2016 MLB Postseason starts on Tuesday night. October is the best time of year because it's the best 5 teams in each league battling to make the "Fall Classic". Here is my preview of the AL & NL Wildcard games.

AL Wildcard Game- Orioles vs. Blue Jays

Orioles- A team that battled to the last day got in the 2nd wildcard spot. Baltimore has the potential to go to the Rogers Centre and beat the Blue Jays. It's going to need to start with pitching. The offense is going to need to supply the pitching with run support. Guys like Manny Machado, Chris Davis, and Adam Jones need to step up for them.

Blue Jays

Just like the Orioles, it came down to the final day for them to clinch a playoff spot. Toronto is hosting the wildcard game so they get to play in front of there home crowd. The Roger Centre will be electric on Tuesday night. Russell Martin, Josh Donaldson, and Jose Bautista are all going to need to have good games to move onto the ALDS.

NL Wildcard Game- SF Giants vs New York Mets

SF Giants- The Giants struggled in the month of September but turned it around and now are in the 2nd wildcard spot. The offense needs to step up and supply the pitching with run support. Madison Bumgarner is going to need to pitch a great game to move onto the next round.

Mets- The Mets are hosting the Wildcard game. Noah Syndergaard is going to have to pitch a great game because the Mets offense isn't going to get a lot of runs off of Madison Bumgarner. Yoenis Cespedes is going to need to need to have a good game offensively for the Mets to move on.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine.

When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
